Bandvulc Invests In Shearography Machine

The machine is now being used to inspect casings entering the retread manufacturing process. After extensive testing, casing shearography has shown to save on in-process rejects due to casing failures which would otherwise not be detected until each tyre is finally inspected before leaving the factory.
